Bullfrog Brewery

While travelling for work, I was in Williamsport PA and stopped at the Bullfrog Brewery for the first time. The food was good and the Beers were better. I will include the beers I drank in my "The Week in Review".

Evolution Brewing Co

While travelling for work this week, I ventured out and found a beer place I had not been to yet. Evolution Brewing Co in Delmar De. It is located about 10 miles north of Salisbury MD. I stopped in Wednesday afternoon to sample the beers and buy a growler. I sampled 5 beers on tap and all were pretty good but my favorite was the Lucky 7 Porter aged in Bourbon barrels and then infused with the Rise Up Coffee Stout and so this was the growler I purchased. They also have 4 regular beers available in bottles, Lot No. 3 IPA, Exile ESB, Primal Pale Ale and Lucky 7 Porter. All of their beers are good but I especially liked the 5 on tap at the (small) brewery. I will certainly stop back in the next time I am in this area and will hope to get another draft only beer!

New to the East Coast

Some BEERS are remembered more for the memory or the company you enjoyed them with than the flavors or the complexity of the ale. That is the case with The Pike Brewing CO beers for me. I recently walked into a local beer store and saw a huge display of Bombers from The Pike. I knew immediately that I would be purchasing some. Not because I remembered how great they tasted (Although I have since had a couple and they are quite good especially at $3.99 per Bomber) but because of the memory it stirs. I first had beers from The Pike while on my honeymoon in Seattle and the Cascade Mountains and then again 5 years later upon our return to Seattle. So while these Beers are good beers (I especially like the Extra Stout), it is more a nostalgic beer for me at this point. Yet another reason BEER can be so enjoyable-the social aspect of it and the people you are with.
